MTV is the definitive youth culture brand. Our legacy,
creativity and pioneering vision have given us an unrivalled
relationship with this most fickle and elusive demographic.
We’re a constant window and a mirror of our audience’s lives,
and we’re everywhere they consume media. The deep bond
between MTV and young people provides advertisers an invaluable connection to an invaluable demo. And through our
cross-platform opportunities and integrated marketing capabilities, we create engaging content that resonates. Because
while the way young people consume media is ever-chang-ing, one thing stays true: They still want their MTV.
THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUTH Millennials are the new
MTV Generation. The first thing to know about this mighty
demo is there are a lot of them: 83 million in the U.S. 1—half
of whom are already in the workforce. 2 At first glance, they’re
a grab bag of contradictions. They’re aware of the challenges
ahead and yet optimistic about reaching their life goals.
They’re civic-minded, yet self-directed. They’re young, but
they’re focused on family (one-third of 18-to-29-year-olds
are already parents). 3 And they spend. A lot. Millennials have
a purchasing power of $467 billion4 and influence another
$300 billion to $400 billion in family purchases. 5 They’re also
expected to make up almost 20 percent of the car buying
market by 2013.6
IT’S NOT SO LONELY AT THE TOP So where is the best
place to find this incredibly valuable demographic? At MTV.
We have the strongest concentration of viewers 12 to 34 in
television (72 percent of our audience). In the first quarter,
this powerful demo fueled our phenomenal double-digit ratings growth year over year, making us the No. 1 full-day, ad-supported cable network, with three of the top five original
cable series among viewers 12 to 34 (“Jersey Shore,” “Teen
Mom” and “ 16 and Pregnant”). 7

MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM While all those ac-complishments are great, it’s nonstop innovation that mattersmost with our audience. The first quarter was just the begin-ning of a whole new MTV. We kicked off a huge 2010, thanksto an inspired slate of fresh new shows and great new talent.From original scripted comedies to brand new reality showsand docudramas, we’re pushing the envelope with authenticand distinct voices that are expressing themselves throughoutthe MTV universe.
